tornado427 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 up at my family's saw mill there is an engine that was pulled out of an R 700 L, and replaced with a BCIII 400 cummins. I was wondering what it is and if it would be worth rebuilding for high performance. it is a V8 with turbo, where should I look to find size and model #? thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/145-v8-turbo-mack-motor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If you can't find it stamped on the engine block,look at the VIN# of the truck,if it was a R795,then the engine is a ENDT865,325 hp ,if it was a R797,then it is a ENDT866,375 hp.Either way,parts are getting scarce for both.

blackjack Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have heard the early V8s turbo and non turbo were troublesome. the later V8s were good engines and boy did they have some power.
